it is doable, but you need to know more about the output. namely how
much bits you need if you want for example 128 bit security. in the
pomelo paper, i found no claims about the security levels at all. also
i find the claims about preimage and collision resistances very brief,
and thus impossible to check or argue with.

do we have more information somewhere on pomelo basic security?
